Tier 5s need a boost, so toss it in the tier 5 one. Seems reasonable enough to me even with the rest of the boosts you put in there. (Considering that any new level 4 spells will be afterthoughts for 18 or fewer paladin levels.)

Ah, gotcha. At first I thought you meant to say NOT 100%, but then the rest of that paragraph made it seem like you were 100% in favor and just chose an awkward wording.
Fair call, I added neg level immunity to Vigor of Life and renamed the ability.

t2 now grants 1d2/1d4/2d4 holy damage
t3 + are stuns on vorpal.

Added a new ability, Reckoning to tier 5, it's aoe damage and a small aoe heal.
